WHEW!! What a time it has been here at the Mann Center these past few months!! Hurricane Debbie and the flooding and then Hurricane Hellene with her devastating, monstrous winds!! The damage down here was devastating with numerous trees down and several trees on some of our buildings. Duane, my sister, Sandra, and myself spent the better part of a month cleaning up what we could manage. With Duane on the chainsaw, Sandra dragging limbs to the burn pile, and myself manning the truck and trailer hauling firewood to the firewood pile. We were able to cut up 9 trees in firewood lengths, burn all of the limbs, and distribute firewood the those that came to pick it up. We put “a dent” in the damage, but then GOD really blessed us immensely when Mr. Ellis Wood and his son, Matt came down to assess the damage. They brought in some heavy equipment and a crew that came in here on January 24th and began clearing, cutting, and burning debris. They have truly been an answer to prayer and we are greatly appreciative.
The Mann Center re-opened on December 1st, and we have already had several reservations. Help us spread the word that we have re-opened, and encourage people to come out and use the Mann Center, the newly renovated Mann Center.
GOD is good, no, G-R-E-A-T!! (Matthew 7:7-8)
We are looking forward to a great 2025 here at the Mann Center. Please remember us in your thoughts and prayers.
“A life without GOD is like and unsharpened pencil – it has no point!!” (Billy Graham) GOD bless you all.

Nestled in the woods on the outskirts of Brooklet, Georgia on approximately 75 acres, you will find the W. W. Mann Retreat and Conference Center. As a ministry of the Ogeechee River Baptist Association, the Mann Center provides a serene, isolated and worshipful atmosphere for all that come. Whether you just want to get away for a day picnic, a weekend getaway, or a longer stay, the Mann Center is the place for you.
The Mann Center has overnight cabins that sleep up to 25 people, a small dining hall/meeting room that will accommodate approximately 60 guests, a larger dining hall/meeting room that will seat approximately 170 people, a chapel that can hold approximately 100 worshipers, a lodge with private rooms, a gazebo, and an amphitheater.
The Mann Center also has 2 fishing ponds (no fishing license required), a creek for fishing, and a swimming pond. Other recreational options include: a full size basketball court, regulation volleyball court, horse shoe pits, an athletic field, and a large playground.
We like to think that the Mann Center is a “little piece of heaven” where folks can get away from the “hustle and bustle” of everyday life and relax, meditate, pray, or just “recoup” from the stress and strain of our fast-paced society.
We have PLENTY of firewood available here, so if any of you need any just call me (912-531-2946).
We thank God from whom all blessings flow, and HE has truly blessed us here at the Mann Center.
We still cherish your prayers and support.
